Medical Officer

This role is ideal for medical graduates holding an MBBS degree with valid medical council registration who are seeking a contractual position in a government healthcare setting. Candidates with an MD in Psychiatry or a Diploma in Psychiatric Medicine (DPM) are highly preferred, indicating a focus on mental health services, specifically in an Opioid Substitution Therapy Centre. It suits individuals looking for immediate engagement in Kolkata, West Bengal.

This position is not suitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment, as it is a contractual engagement. Candidates without an MBBS degree and valid medical registration, or those unwilling to work in Kolkata, should not apply. The role has a specific preference for psychiatry-related qualifications, which might be a dealbreaker for general physicians without this specialization.

Calcutta National Medical College & Hospital is a renowned government institution under the Government of West Bengal, offering valuable experience in a public health setting. While the position is contractual, it provides an opportunity to contribute to critical public health services (Opioid Substitution Therapy). Career progression within a contractual framework might be limited, but the experience gained is highly reputable for future endeavors in public health or specialized medical fields.
